Chapter 241 An Easy Thing
Horsley went back to his box to eat dinner alone. The food looked delicious, but it tasted bland.
The door of the next room was closed, and Horsley heard the footsteps of the boss who had brought him in earlier.
He could probably guess what kind of excitement was going on inside.
The words Song Xinye had just said rang in my ears, saying that she was living a happy life now.
If he really loves her, the best thing he should do is not to disturb her.
But.
The hand holding the chopsticks suddenly lost strength, and the chopsticks fell and hit the ceramic plate, bouncing twice.
Several crisp sounds echoed in front of Horsley, breaking the silence in the room where a slight natural white noise could be heard.
The payment has been made when the order is placed.
Huo Sili looked at the chopsticks that fell on the table, picked them up and put them in order.
Get up and leave.
…
The room is very soundproof, but the tiny gap between the door and the floor lets in light from the corridor.
Tiantian has woken up, but is still a little confused. The tableware here is also different from what Tiantian is used to, and it is not easy for the baby's hands to grasp it.
Jiang Qin was therefore not comfortable letting Tiantian eat on her own at this moment, so she fed her herself.
When Huo Sili passed by the door, Jiang Qin was picking up a fish ball for Tiantian with a serving chopstick.
The fish balls are freshly made by Jiang Wu. The meat is delicate and tender and the taste is particularly delicious.
Tiantian, who usually doesn’t like eating fish, wanted to eat it after smelling the fragrance. After tasting one, she liked it very much and said she wanted to eat more.
At this moment, Jiang Qin noticed a figure walking by the door.
It was very strange. Although Song Xinye and Jiang Wu were chatting at the table, she could still easily tell that the footsteps were those of Huo Sili. This made Jiang Qin couldn't help but sigh again that habit was a terrible thing.
Clearly three years have passed, but when I come back I can still tell it so easily.
However, after sighing, Jiang Qin didn't think about it anymore.
There was no possibility for her and Horsley. Now she felt nothing when she saw him.
In addition, her instinct made her escape subconsciously.
This kind of escape is not out of fear, but most likely because the hurt he brought her in the past has been firmly remembered by her and engraved into her subconscious.
As for the conversation between Song Xinye and Huo Sili just now, since Song Xinye acted calmly as if nothing had happened after entering the room, Jiang Qin was completely unaware of the incident at this moment.
Tiantian has good table manners and eats very well, it’s a pleasure to watch her.
After a while, Tiantian felt better and was no longer confused. She picked up the spoon by herself.
"Mommy, Tiantian can eat by herself now. Mommy, eat too. You don't have to feed Tiantian~"
Jiang Qin was still a little worried, "Baby, are you sure it's okay? This spoon is a bit big."
Although Jiang Wu just said that this was the smallest spoon most suitable for children that he could find in his store, Tiantian was only two and a half years old.
Tiantian nodded confidently: "Yes! Tiantian can do it!"
As if to demonstrate, she fed herself a mouthful of food with a spoon that was a bit too big for her.
It doesn't fit well and feels a bit funny to use, but it appears to work.
Jiang Qin stopped feeding her and chose to listen to her daughter. "Okay, but let Mommy pick up the food for Tiantian, okay?"
The dining table is very large, with a round turntable, which is high and Tiantian can’t reach it.
Tiantian took a look and agreed: "Yeah~Okay~"
Only then did Jiang Qin feel at ease and start eating.
During the conversation, Song Xinye was chatting and watching his little niece at the same time.
Dinner ended quite late, but everyone was in a good mood as they chatted.
The food was delicious and Jiang Qin and Tiantian enjoyed it very much.
After Song Xinye and Jiang Wudao said goodbye, they got in the car and returned to the villa.
Because of the traffic jam, it was almost nine o'clock when they arrived at the villa. Tiantian was a little dazed on the ride, but as soon as she got home, she became excited and happily pointed at the small sofa that Song Xinye bought for her in Jiang Qin's arms.
"Mommy, the couch! Sweet little couch!"
"I saw it." Jiang Qin looked at her happy daughter and couldn't help feeling happy too. She put Tiantian down and Tiantian trotted towards the sofa.
Aunt Zhou, who was waiting for everyone to come back, and two bodyguards who stayed behind to guard the villa heard the noise and came out.
When she saw Song Xinye and Jiang Qin, Aunt Zhou first greeted them and asked how they were. Then she looked at Jiang Qin as if she obviously had something to say but didn't feel comfortable saying it in a crowded place.
Anyone who is qualified to be the chief secretary will naturally have good ability to read people's expressions.
Jiang Qin understood and said to Song Xinye, "Brother Song, I'm going to talk to Aunt Zhou. Please keep an eye on Tiantian and don't let her get too excited."
A common way for Tiantian to express excitement is to pounce.
Tiantian had bumped into something because of that before when she was abroad. Now seeing how excited the little girl was about the small sofa chosen by Song Xinye, Jiang Qin was really afraid that her daughter would be too happy and jump over it again, and then the sofa would flip over and she would fall.
After all, homes abroad are carefully covered with plush carpets, so even if the baby falls, he won’t get hurt. But this villa where we are staying temporarily doesn’t have such facilities, and the baby’s skin is very tender and can get hurt easily.
Song Xinye responded quickly, "Well, go ahead. I'll take care of Tiantian, Qinqin, don't worry."
Jiang Qin nodded, glanced at her daughter again, and then walked in.
I went into the study room with Aunt Zhou.
Closing the door, Jiang Qin asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Aunt Zhou had a complicated look on her face, as if she was trying to figure out how to talk to her.
Jiang Qin saw it, so she waited patiently.
Aunt Zhou sorted out what to say: "It's like this, Miss, after Mr. Song took the young lady out, about ten minutes later, a car arrived outside the villa."
Aunt Zhou described: "It was a white Rolls-Royce! Such an expensive car. I thought I had come to the wrong place. After all, this is also a villa area. But the car hadn't left for a long time, and no one got out. It was just parked at the fence at the gate."
"One of Mr. Song's bodyguards went over to ask, and I was afraid it was Mr. Song's friend, so I followed him. Then the rear window rolled down, and a lady was sitting inside."
Aunt Zhou gestured as she spoke, "She looks like she's in her thirties or forties, but I think she's actually ten years older than she looks.
"She was wearing a winter velvet cheongsam, gold earrings with magnolia flowers, and a jade bracelet on her hand. The jade looked very good. She sat in a very elegant manner and had a good figure. She looked like a wealthy lady from some wealthy family."
"The bodyguard asked her what she was doing, but she didn't say anything. Then she looked at me and asked me if I lived here."
When Jiang Qin heard this, she had an idea in her mind, but she felt it was a little outrageous.
So I asked directly: "What did she say exactly? Did she call me by my name? Aunt Zhou, please imitate her."
Aunt Zhou was a little embarrassed, but when she met Jiang Qin's affirmative gaze, she nodded.
He imitated the tone of the noble lady he had met before, speaking in a high-pitched voice, obviously looking down on her.
"Does Jiang Qin live in there?"
As soon as this tone came out.
How could Jiang Qin not understand?
The noble lady who asked whether she lived there was Huo Sili's mother, her former mother-in-law, Yuan Lianqing.
Jiang Qin doesn't like Yuan Lianqing.
In addition to the fact that there have been many problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times, it is also because of Yuan Lianqing's temperament and world views.
She doesn't like any of them.
Not to mention that Yuan Lianqing had criticized her many times in the past.
Jiang Qin has no masochistic tendencies.
She tolerated Yuan Lianqing in the past because she still liked Huo Sili at that time, but now, it is impossible for her and Huo Sili to be together.
She also has a daughter. In Jiang Qin's eyes, Yuan Lianqing is a dangerous person. She naturally would not welcome such a person with a bad record to disturb her life again.
Jiang Qin's heart sank, but she looked at Aunt Zhou, still wanting to understand the matter clearly and thoroughly.
"Then what did you do, Aunt Zhou?" she continued to ask.
Aunt Zhou didn't know what Jiang Qin was thinking, but after three years of getting along, she felt that Jiang Qin and she had the same values.
So he thought about it quickly and spoke frankly.
"It's like this, Miss. I noticed that her tone was not very good, and she exuded a sense of arrogance, which made me feel quite uncomfortable. I didn't know what she meant by asking this question, so I just ignored her and remembered her characteristics."
"I thought about coming back and reporting to you."
This answer undoubtedly satisfied Jiang Qin.
She didn't want to reveal her address, not because she was afraid, but because she was disgusted.
After all, no one wants to be entangled in a pile of shit.
Her sinking heart floated back to its place and she smiled, "Not bad."
Noticing Jiang Qin's smile, Aunt Zhou felt relieved.
This time, without waiting for her to ask, Jiang Qin looked at her.
Talking about the lady, "She is my ex-husband's mother..."
After talking for a few minutes, Tiantian went outside to look for her mother.
The study door was closed but not locked.
Tiantian may have won Horsley's genetic lottery. She is taller than other girls of the same age, so opening the door is easy for her.
